Environmental voter chooses Weiser

I am voting for Phil Weiser for many reasons, but I wish to point out one reason all Coloradans can grab hold of: The environment so many of us enjoy on a regular basis, that we want our children and grandchildren to enjoy also.

Our land, air and water is in jeopardy and Phil Weiser will stand up to the forces trying to destroy the beauty we call Colorado.

Our current President and his Administration is rolling back fuel standards and other measures designed to combat climate change. They are eliminating regulations designed to protect us from toxic spills and pollution. They are choosing non-renewable energy, the kind that pollutes and harms the environment, over clean, renewable energy solutions.

Our National Parks and National Forests are also in jeopardy. The current secretary of the interior wants to open pristine wild places to oil and gas exploration and other industrial uses. This will threaten wildlife and their fragile habitat.

With his experience as a law clerk for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and as a top advisor to President Obama, Phil has the legal skills to stand up to the federal government’s assault on environmental protections and win.

The incredible natural beauty of our state is part of who we are. It is the soul of Colorado. Please join me in voting for Phil Weiser for Attorney General.
